WARNING: Spoilers for Deep Breath follow!

Violence

There is some fighting with swords, as well as use of science fiction weapons. At one point, a robot is impaled, although the fact the character is a robot means there is no injury detail.

Threat

There are a number of scenes of mild threat, including a dinosaur running amok and alien robots threatening humans. There are several references to organs being 'harvested' by robots, as well as some sight of robots with human parts, although nothing gory is shown.

Sex

Mild references to flirting, as well as mild innuendo, including a woman thinking about muscular men doing 'sports'.

Language

There is one use of mild bad language ('bloody'), as well as use of milder terms ('hell' and 'God').

The film also contains sight of someone holding their breath to the point of almost fainting, in order to evade detection and capture by alien robots, and brief sight of a naked statue.

The cinematic release of Deep Breath also includes an introduction and 'behind the scenes' extras and can be seen in selected cinemas around the world. Peter Capaldi's debut episode airs on television on BBC One on Aug 23 at 7.50pm.
